Trump started this crap!!! We have to stand firm against this Dictator!! Less than 1% of drugs come from Canada - really that was his reason??? He is such a liar and idiot. If people in Canada don't want to be here and want to join the US - I say GO no one is holding you here!!!! Here is the door don't let it hit you on the way out!!!

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

If it happens in india.... That guy be walking with one leg and less teeth... My brother controlled his anger like a snow..

Canada is a direct neighbor with Denmark also we have a land border less than a KM long

In Japan buildings depreciate in value, like cars, so the house I built last year is worth less this year (and my taxes on it are less). When I first got here I thought it was a horrible system, but now I see what a powerful benefit it is. Housing is quite affordable and there are lots of mixed neighborhoods, like mine, with million-dollar homes, small multi-units, and fewer gated communities. We suffer from a blight of abandoned buildings because at a certain point it just doesn't make economic sense to fix up an old (often cheaply made) home. But because home ownership is a luxury, like a fancy car, not a necessary means to accrue wealth, mortgages and rents are low and there's cheap (and small, so very very small) housing everywhere.

I'll never understand why Canada has the worst affordable housing areas. You have all the lumber you could possibly want. And you even have more land and less people. Make it make sense

Prices just need to stabilise for 2 decades, this won't annoy people and will erode the concept that property is a good investment. So more owner occupiers buying and less investors.

I’m part of that brain drain from Canada to the U.S. Having dual citizenship made that easy, and while I miss so many things about Vancouver, I was being totally squeezed between expensive housing and very poor income outlook. There were director level positions that were offering less than my mid level role; not a good look. Down south, I was able to jump income (not considering the exchange rate) 200% in two years, and I have far better career prospects. \n\nIt’s not great. I will always be a Canadian at heart.

One big problem Canada has, is USA. Canada is better to be in if you aren't established, poor people do not suffer as badly as those in the usa who have no money. But if you are established, living in USA is better, you pay less taxes, and you make more money on average, and you have more access to a larger market, so what people do is use Canada to become established, then leave. And because USA is just a hop skip n jump, its easier than if you were to move over seas.

Asset inflation encourages less wealth creation and more wealth extraction.

Advice from the experience of a third world country: \nRule 1: do not follow the advice of pro-USA economists.\nRule 2: practically anything you decide.\nRule 3: Depend less and less on USA.

The problem here is that building more houses de-values existing houses. Your parents are the ones lobbying against building your house. Regulations need to be massively reformed (e.g. ignore nimby's), alternatively there should be a framework for constructions projects to financially compensate local property owners for their loss in value. A lot less nimby's would exist if they got $10,000 for the construction of a new block of flats.

Countries that have the death penalty have less fentanyl problems hence why they ship it here fix the laws

I feel bad for NY, become high in crime last few years under Biden, Kamala Harris was in office. Destroy this country less then 4 years .?? And California too

My godson's parents, who he loves and respects and helps financially, are undocumented immigrants here in the US for 30 yrs. He lives in a community of undocumented folks. He and his brother voted for Trump. His whole family understands the consequences of so many people being here illegally. They all understand that being here illegally is a way for our government and the elite to use and abuse people much more easily. When you have as large of a percentage of the population who aren't protected by their citizenship and the laws and who can't access the full benefits of citizenship and who are always scared of being caught and will take less pay, people can be used and abused more easily.

States needs to deputize citizens after being vetted and going thru a training course by sheriffs offices to help them weed out the illegals and drug houses most citizens knows whats happening in ther neighborhoods i do they are several in my area but the law turns a blind eye to them they are buying up land and houses with cartel money they dont work but they have several vechicles costing over 100.000 dollars and remolding houses and out of state vechicles show up every week or two and stays a day or less and leaves

it's going to work. Canada wont go to sell in EU or China it's over seas way to long and most of the times still has to go thru the US lol it's to costly for one, and EU just wont cover all the cost, forget the logistic nightmare. US is like a 2 hour drive away!! big big difference. So simple, trumps tariffs will make Canadien companies sell there product higher so they dont lose to much profits. what does that do? US wont buy! then companies shut down, people loose their jobs. very simple. Many go on welfare for a year, when they run out older one or less educated one cant find jobs etc...Trump will kill Canada plain and simple. that's it that's all. He want our resources and will do it, we are done for. this will also kill truck drivers and many many many side workers. until we are part of the US.

That's why I strongly recommend my friends not to get job outside India for shitty situation like this.u may earn Lil less but you will have respect,familial love always.

Why spend all that tax money on northern boarder enforcement - how about Canada - reform your immigration policy and stop em at the airport. Cost a lot less to stop them at the airports if they don't have a good reason then tracking em down with Blackhawks and depleting our resources. Hope you get a better leader soon! Trudeau just talks out both sides of a#%, but unlike sleepy Joe, at least he can talk??

When you come from a developing country it is extremely difficult to get a viditors visa much less applying for and obtaining legal immigrant status! \nShe’d probably call ICE on her own relatives!

I have to deal with these loser every night. They are abusive af in the restaurant and steal orders on the regular while just showing up under new accounts when they are banned, I seriously couldn't care less.

Wow, this guy is very intelligent, he puts some clips he loaded from news or the Internet and unloaded them here to bait the people. They are coming by the thousands but the video shows only a few people. First thing is, people crossing into the USA, it's not upto canada to stop them. If somone enters canada from the USA then its upto canada to stop them from entering, not the USA. If sombody crosses into USA then it's upto USA to block them..\n\nMost of the content in this video is false. People are always trying to cross into other countries illegally, but it's upto the other countries border security to stop them and send them back..\n\nWhat a lie about the bus waiting for these people at the crossing points. LoL...sure sure..\n\nIce is nothing but a reality show, very little reality but it's entertaining to watch because people think it's real. Lol...\n\nTrump used cheap labor to built his Empire. do you guys think he hired Americans to built his luxury hotels, casinos, towers etc? Heck no, he used these very same migrants he claims to be taking your jobs away from you. Guy soreads lies and speaks from both sides of his mouth. Think about it. If you have a business, are you going to hire expansive labor or cheap labour? If you wanna make BIG profits then you knkw who you'd be hiring. Face it. Migrants will do jobs that no one wants and they'll do it for a lot less. \n\nI got a roof put on my House for less then half of what i was quoted. Thanks to the hard working migrants. Take it to the bank, ICE is not created to deport big numbers of migrants back, its created to make it look that way. How would you know how many people they deported, oh yeah, becasue the orange men is going to brag about it and you'll fall for it. Much like this video.

Thanks Canada! Less recruitment for Khalistanis ???

I live in a small community in Utah, 165 miles south of Salt Lake City. I can't imagine how the legal immigrants feel there in NYC. Even here, they are being pushed out by the illegals, willing to work for poor wages, and living 30 people to a travel trailer on BLM ground. The liberal ideology is destroying the hard working legal immigrants families, and forcing them out. Liberal propaganda is chuck full of lies and far less than logical. NYC, San Francisco , Portland, Los Angeles, and Seattle have become shizholes because of it. Time to wake up!

Trump,Musk and HOLMAN COULD CARE LESS ABOUT GAINING $ FOR THEMSELVES LIKE THE WAY JUSTICE SYSTEM IN NY WAS DOING TO TRUMP

Trump,Musk and HOLMAN COULD CARE LESS ABOUT GAINING $ FOR THEMSELVES LIKE THE WAY JUSTICE SYSTEM IN NY WAS DOING TO TRUMP

Funny how a lot of Canadians are busy being mad instead of thinking about how they’re being a bad neighbor.\n\nKeep your garbage out of our yard and we’ll be less frustrated.\n\nIt’s like how my trash neighbors seem to be angry that we put a fence up to stop their garbage from flowing in.\n\nNobody likes dealing with other peoples trash.

He could care less Hypocrites.

Give them LESS than nothing to come here and the motivation is gone!

That's less than *2% of all illegal immigration* that is coming into the US compared to MILLIONS coming from other borders. \nIt is still an issue, but why are you making it sound like it's one of the MAJOR issues and all your illegals are from Canada.

Ah yes, let's defend the criminals so they can be taken advantage of by companies that want to pay less for illegal workers ? make it make sense. You know what would stop them from being exploited by companies? Being legal and documented so they get paid as a regular American, and not let the worst criminals from other countries stay here. Super simple really.

We're enter AI era, which means immigrants are become less and less necessary for the country.?

I was hoping when Trump first started talking about the wall on the southern border he would also do one on the northern border.I saw this coming. I know it's less common, but illegal immigration must be fully dealt with.

Sanctuary cities are what the are to help less fortunate people seeking refuge!!! That is the law and thanks God for that for calme the suffering of so many families in the world ? !!!

I hope President Trump\nClose this hotel and no more Sanctuary cities need to remove we hadn’t or this never going to stopped no more spending money that we need for our homes less ?❤️???

Agenda 2030. This is the united nations idea of prosperity. Theyre distrubuting the worlds population. If these grubby little fuckers have overpopulated their own country i couldnt care less but its not my problem and its not my countrys problem to fix it for you. Neanderthol breeding cultures

When you cross a land border, there is no Exit barrier, only an Entry barrier. Essentially they check you on the way in and can turn you around. Why is it up to Canada to stop people leaving vs the USA stopping people coming in? About 20-30 years ago - before MJ was legal - Canada had to stop USA migrants crossing from WA into BC with illegal MJ the USA couldn’t have cared less.

It’s own problem: a problem with management from top to down ,,none of company have plan B ,, dominated by old fashioned. No have investment on training,, just looking with skilled worker less price ,, if I find to getting job ,, you are deep fail negotiating with poor price ,, and then shortage of skilled workers,,,

America exploits the less fortunate, yet the less fortunate risk their lives to get here. Yeah, that tracks

Liberal party of Canada is a joke and has no ambition to fix Canada’s problems much less get us out of debt

Canada doesn’t give a damn about securing the border. I’m sure they’re just glad to see them leave their country, they give a damn less about what’s coming into hours so long as they don’t have to put up with them.

NYC officials are corrupt. They are making money from kickbacks. They could care less about the safety of NYC citizens!

What good is ONE illegal country destroyer much less 16k? Wow.

Imprison any employer willing to hire an undocumented worker, and BINGO, no more people coming into America.... but that means trump's most profitable hotels would have to close. Too many rich people rely on paying undocumented workers less than minimum wage.

Drugs smuggling coming from Canada? What do you mean it’s like less than 1% compared to Mexico.

So wait, do we have to keep these people now?? 500 or so out of 600 or so terrorists came from the northern border? Wait, I thought it wasn’t a problem in Canada? ?? I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re now allowed to stay in Canada. Enough is enough. Thank god for president Trump, who managed to do something about OUR border crisis from the US, because our lame duck government couldn’t care less. We could only be so lucky to have leadership like him. Pollievre better step up.

It's becoming way too easy to define an entire group of people as criminals. Their is not one story that uses the word criminal no less than 25 times. I understand getting rid of the criminal element. I also agree that the previous administration made it easy. However, easy is different than illegal. This is getting ugly really fast.

By the way, it's interesting that you're all getting your knickers in a twist over irregular migrants, most of whom wind up working and supporting you at some point (or their children do), when (apparently) you seem to believe you have the same problems with fentanyl coming from the true north. I think that drug thing might be more pressing if it's crime and chaos you're worried about...(you get less then 0.2% of your fentanyl from us, by the way and fewer then 2% of migrants to the US come from Canada. On the other hand, an estimated 70% of illegal migrants to Canada come from the US, right up there with the fentanyl, actually. Oh and we keep having to deal with all the illegal guns from you, too.

In fact less immigrants were deported in the last month under Trump than under Biden …´more misinformation
